I had a friend who didn’t do 90 day report and he left the country. Will he have an issue coming back? Shouldn’t they have pulled him up at immigration when leaving and possibly give him a fine or something?
Probably a dumb question please be kind. If you have DTV on remote work and you switch companies (still working remotely), do you need to get a new DTV? Or you can just report the change? Thanks in advance.
Hi I am a British passport holder, I was in Thailand in March and they stamped my passport with a 60 day visa on arrival however I heard they are reducing this down to 30 days? Does anyone know if this is correct? I’m reading conflicting advice on gov UK and Thai embassy 🤷🏽♀️
The TDAC is essentially a digital form that replaces the traditional TM6. It allows travellers to fill out and submit all necessary entry information before they even leave home.
The form is quick to complete (once you know what you need), and it includes:
Personal Details: Full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number.
Health Declaration: A few basic questions to support ongoing health and safety screening protocols.
You’ll need to complete the form within 72 hours of your scheduled arrival in Thailand. Once submitted, you’ll receive a confirmation email or QR code, which must be shown—alongside your passport—when you land
If you're on a non-immigrant 1 year visa (retirement) with multiple entries.
Q. How long can you exit Thailand for?
Q. If for example, you had to return to your home country (Australia) for family reasons for a while (6 months), providing you fly back to Thailand for your 90-day reporting is this, OK?
Q. In example above does this change if you need to do your I year application again during this period?
🇹🇭 Has anyone experienced “comments” in the Thai immigration system?
Some travelers have reported receiving shorter stays or facing stricter questioning at the border after entering Thailand multiple times within a short period. In certain cases, visa agencies later confirmed that a “comment” (internal note) had been added to the traveler's immigration profile.
These comments are not visible and not officially communicated, but immigration officers can see them when scanning the passport. They may be triggered by recurring patterns such as:
Frequent entries and exits within a short timeframe
Short stays outside Thailand between entries
Behavior that resembles visa runs or long-term stays without the proper visa
This raises questions about how such comments might affect future entries or visa applications, and whether they can be viewed or removed.
Some common suggestions include:
Applying for an ED visa, which is possible if at least 45 days remain on the current permission to stay
If only 20 days remain, it may be too late to apply from within Thailand — applying from Cambodia might be safer
Using the e-Visa system, if applicable
Waiting a few months before returning, to allow the situation in the system to “cool off”
Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
My situation is that I have a non-immi 'O' visa with one year retirement extension and no re-entry permit so far.
I now need to leave/return Thailand once, before my extension expires, and retain my current visa so I can extend again.
I got my last extension renewal at Jomtien, Chonburi.
I'm in Phuket now and want to stay south, flying out of the country from Samui in June. I see now that I probably should have applied for a re-entry permit at Jomtien before I left.
I just want to confirm that it's NOT possible to apply for a re-entry permit at Phuket immigration and that I need fly from Don Mueang or Suvarnabhumi airport and apply there when I fly.
If so, are there any issues with doing that which have occurred recently?
